Install gd library php xampp

I Can't figure out how to install php-gd for PHP7.2. Is there any way to install/enable GD extension in xampp windows? I checked the php.ini file for php_gd2.dll but I can't find that line. It seems like GD is missing in PHP7.2. Any suggestions??

2. search this ;extension=gd
3. remove ; then restart the server

Under xampp/php/php.ini look for "extension=gd2" and uncomment it, I presume this what you looking for

8 steps:

1. Open xampp control panel.
2. Start apache and mysql.
3. Click on config option of apache.
4. Click on php.ini and open it.
5. Press Ctrl+F and search "extension=" or "extension=fileinfo".
6. On the next line to "extension=fileinfo", add "extension=gd".
7. Save the file.
8. Stop apache and restart it.

You are done.
My PHP version is 8. if yours is 7 you may need to add extension=gd2 in php.ini file.
You can see your PHP version by searching for "localhost/dashboard" in the browser and then clicking on "PHPinfo" at the top right.

if ";extension=gd" is already there, remove the semicolon and save the file and restart Xampp.

I had to add the absolute path to the extension as well:

extension=gd
extension=C:\xampp\php\ext\php_gd.dll

Also for windows user if you have multiple xampp installed check which php ini is being used by composer by using command

php --ini

if its not the one you are using u can try uninstalling the undesired one and then trying again
